Ellen DeGeneres And Portia De Rossi Heading For Divorce: Is ‘Scandal’ Star Leaving Ellen For Mystery Man?


Ellen DeGeneres and wife, Portia de Rossi, have been a beloved couple for over a decade now and have been an inspiration to members of the LGBT community since they tied the knot eight years ago.

Although the couple appears solid and Ellen continues to crack up her guests daily on her hit talk show, rumors are indicating that the couple may be experiencing another rough patch which, this time, may be heading to a full split. Tabloids have initiated these claims that state Portia has been seeing a male companion and is set to dump Ellen for the mystery man. Not only that, the couple is also said to be heading for a $330 million divorce due to the circumstances and the tension between the star couple.

Gossip Cop shares words of a source who spoke to the tabloids about Ellen and Portia’s difficulties that may result in their marriage coming to an end.

“[de Rossi is] fed up with her wife’s controlling ways and humiliated by her endless flirting [and is] ready to call it quits. While they act like they are crazy in love in public, Ellen and Portia have always had a contentious relationship behind the scenes. Portia told Ellen she wants a divorce. Even more shocking, friends say Portia may have left Ellen for a man!”

The tabloid fails to mention who the unknown man is that Portia is supposedly ditching the comedian for. It goes on, however, to share that Degeneres and de Rossi are reportedly fighting endlessly over their careers and that Portia is reportedly jealous over Ellen’s friendship with SNL cast member Kate McKinnon.

As intriguing as the tabloid makes it all seem, the marriage of Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi is not over and is not even in trouble. Gossip Cop has gotten the facts and notes that the tabloid has fabricated the story involving some mysterious man that has apparently stolen Portia’s affections. She is not leaving Ellen and a mutual friend of the celebrity policing site and DeGeneres shares that the whole story is complete “nonsense.” The two women continue to be happily married and are not in the middle of a contentious battle over career and jealousy.

The Daily Mail spotted the duo recently looking happier than ever and holding hands while they caught a flight out of LAX this week. Both women had smiles on their faces and looked completely content in one another’s company. The pair will celebrate their eighth wedding anniversary next month. Portia and Ellen were ready to board their flight to London, as the publication shares.

Ellen and Portia kept close and flashed big smiles as they headed into LAX’s international terminal to catch a flight to London. Scandal star Portia will be by her wife’s side as the daytime talk show host attends the UK gala screening of Finding Dory in the British capital on Sunday.”

The two each have sizzling careers in the entertainment business. Ellen continues to rule the airwaves on her daytime talk show The Ellen DeGeneres Show, while Portia plays the role of Elizabeth North on the hit show Scandal. Additionally, DeGeneres is reportedly in talks to link up with actress and entrepreneur Drew Barrymore in order to executive produce a talk show for the star.

As noted, Portia de Rossi and Ellen DeGeneres have been together since 2004 and tied the knot in a monumental ceremony on August 16, 2008. The two continue to be an inspirational couple who have found individual success in their own careers while supporting one another in various endeavors.
